Strawberry Grapefruit Spiked Lemonade
The classic summer drink…with a kick.
Nothing says summertime like a nice, cool glass of lemonade. It’s the perfect drink for picnics at the park, cookouts in the back yard, or just sitting out on the deck to watch the sunset at the end of a long day. That sweet-tart mix of lemon, sugar, and cold water is the taste of summer.
But if lemonade is good, strawberry lemonade is even better. June is also strawberry season, and adding fresh strawberries to your lemonade gives it a whole new twist – sweet and tangy and fragrant all at the same time.
And once you’ve started improving on perfection, why stop there? How about a splash of grapefruit, to add a hint of bitterness under the sweet and get all the parts of your tongue energized?
